4. The Photographer
On occasions and without notice it may be necessary for the photographer originally specified to be substituted by another photographer (e.g. due to ill health).

5. Images
All image sizes are nominal. The photographer/s will provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials especially man-made fibres. It is sometimes impossible to record on film exact colours as seen by the human eye.

Retouching, digital manipulation and artist finishing is available to the client as an optional extra.

If the master discs are purchased this gives the client license to reproduce images but they cannot be re-sold or exhibited on websites etc.. It is the bride and groom's responsibility to inform relatives/guests if they intend to provide prints to guests, as re-print orders placed/paid for cannot be refunded

8. Licence
The photographer/s shall be granted complete artistic licence including in relation to the poses photographed and the locations used. The photographer/s judgment regarding the locations/poses and number of images taken shall be final. Due to the vagaries of weather and the willingness of subjects it may not be possible to capture all the images requested.

The due performance of this contract is subject to alteration or cancellation by either party owing to any cause beyond their control.

Should cancellation be received by the photographer/s less than 8 weeks prior to the date of the ceremony the client shall in addition pay a sum equal to the remaining contract value. The said sum shall be payable as compensation as an estimate of the loss the photographer/s would suffer.
